A portable control apparatus (100) for controlling a motion sensor (200), comprising communication means (110), display means (120) and input means (130). The communication means (110) allow wireless communication with a motion sensor (200) and are suitable for receiving a detection signal, currently generated in the motion sensor (200), from the motion sensor (200) while the control apparatus (100) is in a detection region (210) of the motion sensor (200). The display means (120) allow this detection signal to be displayed. The input means (130) allow the adjustment of a detection threshold at which a movement is detected by the motion sensor (200), on the basis of the displayed detection signal. The adjusted detection threshold is transferred to the motion sensor (200) by the communication means (110) and set there as the applicable detection threshold.

A highly versatile control system which is able to control devices in a linked manner is provided. The control system is configured to condition air of a single space 9, and includes: an air conditioner 2 and a floor heating apparatus 3 which cannot directly communicate with each other; a router 4 which is able to communicate with the air conditioner 2 and the floor heating apparatus 3 via communication lines 11 and 12; and a terminal device 5 which is connectable to the Internet 10 and is able to communicate with the router 4 via a communication line 13. The air conditioner 2 and the floor heating apparatus 3 are controlled in a linked manner by a control signal sent from the terminal device 5 via the router 4.

The present invention relates to a control device for controlling an operation of an aerosol nebulizer system (30), said aerosol nebulizer system (30) comprising an aerosol generator (31) for nebulizing a liquid and a plurality of sensor units (38a, 38b, 38c, 38d, 38e), said control device (20) comprising: a communication unit (21), configured to establish a wireless communication connection and to perform data transmission with the aerosol nebulizer system (30), a sensor data control unit (22), configured to trigger a selection of sensor data related to the sensor units (38a, 38b, 38c, 38d, 38e) to be wirelessly transmitted to the control device (20).

A device-registration-operation assisting apparatus in a device management system including a plurality of devices installed in a building and a management device connected to the devices via a network, assists in an operation to register the devices. The device-registration-operation assisting apparatus includes an emission unit of an electromagnetic wave, and a mobile terminal. The emission unit is integrated into or positioned near one of the plurality of devices. The mobile terminal includes a receiving unit that receives the electromagnetic wave, a display unit that displays information of the device, and an input unit that receives an input of registration information in order to register the device displayed on the display unit in the device management system. The display unit does not display the information of the device for which the registration information is input to the input unit, or changes display of the information.

Systems and methods for configuring a user device to remotely control a plurality of architectural structural coverings are described. A user device receives a plurality of broadcast signals from a plurality of architectural structural coverings. Each individual broadcast signal is associated with an individual architectural structural covering and relays position information for the individual architectural structural covering. Each broadcast signal is also associated with an individual entry in a list of entries displayed on a user interface of the user device. Each entry comprises a representation of an architectural structural covering having a displayed position that matches position information from the broadcast signal and a position control for controlling a physical position of the associated architectural structural covering. When a user adjusts the position via the position control, an adjusted position instruction is sent to the associated architectural structural covering. The displayed position of the representation on the UI is changed to mirror a change in the physical position of the architectural structural covering as the user device observes broadcast position data from the architectural structural covering.

A set top/back box and system and method for providing a remote control device are disclosed. In one embodiment, one or more wireless transceivers are located within a housing, which also interconnectively includes television input/output, a processor, and memory. The set top/back box may establish a pairing with a programmable device, such as a proximate wireless-enabled interactive handheld device having a touch screen display, whereby formatted parallel audiovisual experience instructions, including virtual buttons, may be transmitted to the programmable device for display on the touch screen display to create an experience parallel to the experience on the television. The set top/back box receives and processes virtual remote control functionality input instructions from the programmable device to control amenities associated with the set top/back box.

An electronic device, with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, one or more processors and memory, displays a first representation of a first controllable external device, where the first controllable external device is situated at a location. The device detects a first user input corresponding to a selection of the first representation of the first controllable external device. The device, after detecting the first user input, adds data identifying the first controllable external device and a first state of the first controllable external device in a scene profile.

An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes: a storage configured to store control code sets corresponding to each of a display apparatus and one or more external electronic apparatuses providing contents to the display apparatus; a communicator comprising communication circuitry configured to communicate with the display apparatus and a remote control apparatus; and a processor configured to determine a source apparatus, providing a content that is currently displayed on the display apparatus, of the display apparatus and the one or more external electronic apparatuses, and controlling the communication circuitry of the communicator to transmit a control code set corresponding to the determined source apparatus to the remote control apparatus.

Communication enabled circuit breakers are described. Methods associated with such communication enabled circuit breakers are also described. The communication enabled circuit breakers may include one or more current sensors. The one or more current sensors may be disposed in a clip. The clip may be coupled to a line side phase connection, and the clip may be shielded to attenuate signals.

Context-sensitive remote controls for use with electronic devices (e.g., eyewear device). The electronic device is configured to perform activities (e.g., email, painting, navigation, gaming). The context-sensitive remote control includes a display having a display area, a display driver coupled to the display, and a transceiver. The remote control additionally includes memory that stores controller layout configurations for display in the display area of the display by the display driver. A processor in the context-sensitive remote control is configured to establish, via the transceiver, communication with an electronic device, detect an activity currently being performed by the electronic device, select one of the controller layout configurations responsive to the detected activity, and present, via the display driver, the selected controller layout configuration in the display area of the display.
